OUR HILO LETTER
An Attack on BowoUs Folly Pub

Hilo Iinprovomonto Bain Want
od Shipping News
Hackld Co have at last been
permitted to build a wharf at their
lumber yard This wharf is to bo
dOO feet long and d0 feet wide and
will be a great boon to them for
vessels will be able to come to an
anchor at the end of the wharf and
the lumber landed dry A double
track will be laid the entire length
of the wharf to facilitate the haul
ing of the lumber and other freight
A large covered shed 337 feet long
by dO feet wide capable of holding
a million feet of lumber has been
built so that contractors will bo able
to secure dry lumber for building
purposes
itoweii a J oily as tuo new gov
ernment wharf is called is buiug
covered by a shed 150 feet by -10
feet This is a deliberate waste of
public money and will benefit no
one but those building it for the
wharf is put in the wrong place
Not a single pile is driven in proper
ly and it is insecure for it shakes
like a suspension bridge when a
light wagon goes on it Should a
good storm come in from the south
east which often happens here the
shed will be found on Cocoanut Isl
and The vessels iu the harbor are
obliged to anchor about a quarter
of a mile from shore because there
i t uitable wharf Then again
the road leading to this monument
to Howells incompetency is so uar
row that even two handcarts can
not passed one another without con
siderable risk
Improvements are constantly
baing made in Hilo TJio Porter
premises on Waiauuenue street wore
sold the other day by auctioouer
Stevens to Fulcher Campbell who
will tear down the old shanty now
standing tuereou and build a hand
some business block There is also
some talk of Peacock Co erecting
a fine stone building1 on the corner
of Waiauuenue and Bridge streets
work on which wilt begin at once
At present there is no stone or brick
building in Hilo but it is thought
that the prejudice against such
buildings for Hilo will bo removed
on the completion of the Peacock
block and that the stone buildings
will be the fashion before the end of
the present year A cement side
walk has been put in front of
Holmes store in place of the wood
en one and is a great improvement
The now fish market is progresing
rapidly and will be a great blessing
when completed At present fish is
sold from stalls in the open street
where there is no protection from
the sun or rain and unless thereis a
great demand for fish aud they are
quickly sold the stench in the neigh
borhood is easier imagined than de
scribed
A severe thunder storm broke out
this week near the mountains aud
came within six miles of Hilo but
passed off But little rain fell which
is to be deplored for we have had no
rain for about two months and it is
badly needed The people living in
the neighborhood of the Waiakea
stream are compelled to use its wa
ters for drinking purposes The
roads have been very dusty
It may not be generally known
but the electric light is to be found
in almost every house and store
large or small in Hilo Machinery
in the planiug mills is driven by
electricity and Rooha the tailor
has his pressing irons heated by it
The dynamos are ruu by water-power
so there is an almost total ab
sence of smoke iu the town
Since the return of genial Jack
Wilson as manager the Volcano
Stables are greatly improved Wil

CORRESPONDENCE
It May Be So
Ed The Independent
Late adviceR from Washington
state that tho crown land matter of
Queen Liliuokalaui has been thor
oughly looked into by the powers at
Washington and they have come to
the conclusion that by right tho
Queen is entitled to full compensa
tion from the proceeds of those
lauds from 1893 to the present time
And furthermore tho money receiv
ed for the unlawful rental of the
crown lauds must be paid to Her
Majesty not by the tax payerc but
must come from the money bags of
the ursurpers personally who rob
bed the Queen of her patrimony
Great heavens what a howling aud
gnashing of teeth will be heard from
the camp of the PhilistiueB iu a
month or so from the present time
Aud also what a righteous price of
old time justice against the traitors
who robbed their old benefactors of
many years standing for the mean
selfish purpose of getting two cents
bounty on sugar from Uncle Sam
in connection with Asiatio starva
tion coolie labor Santiago
